Review of The Oyster Box Hotel
The children loved the Oyster Box! We were disappointed there was no kids club and they tried to charge us 360 R per hour for babysitting (180R for 2 children) we told them as we left we thought this was too much (because they didn't tell us this was the rate) and they refunded us 50% and apologised. Hotel not quite it's normal self with corona and didn't realise we…
Probably the best hotel we have ever stayed in. Apart from being a lovely building in a beautiful location overlooking the ocean, the staff, service, food and facilities were second to none.
